N6-adenosine-methyltransferase subunit METTL14 - Q9HCE5 (MET14_HUMAN)

Protein Feature View of PDB entries mapped to a UniProtKB sequence

The METTL3-METTL14 heterodimer forms a N6-methyltransferase complex that methylates adenosine residues of some mRNAs and regulates the circadian clock and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:25719671, PubMed:27373337, PubMed:27281194). In the heterodimer formed with METTL3, METTL14 constitutes the RNA-binding scaffold that recognizes the substrate rather than the catalytic core (PubMed:27373337, PubMed:27281194). N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which takes place at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus sites of some mRNAs, plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing and mRNA stability (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:25719671). M6A regulates the length of the circadian clock: acts as an early pace-setter in the circadian loop. M6A also acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), m6A methylation of mRNAs encoding key naive pluripotency-promoting transcripts results in transcript destabilization.
UniProt

Heterodimer; heterodimerizes with METTL3 to form an antiparallel heterodimer that constitutes an active methyltransferase (PubMed:27373337, PubMed:27281194). Component of the WMM complex, a N6-methyltransferase complex composed of WTAP, METTL3 and METTL14.

Sequence Mismatches It is now possible to see information about expression tags, cloning artifacts, and many other details related to sequence mismatches.
Icons represent a number of different sequence modifications that can be observed in PDB files. For example the 'T' icon
T
represents expression tags that have been added to the sequence.
The 'E' icon
E
represents an engineered mutation. However, besides these two, there are many other icons. For more information about the meaning and exact position of a sequence modification, move the cursor over the icon.
